Description
PanaTeQ’s VPX3-ZU1B is a 3U OpenVPX module based on the Zynq UltraScale+ MultiProcessor SoC device from AMD.
This upgraded version provides a dual Ethernet 1000BaseT interfaces on the VPX P2 connector.
The Zynq MPSoC integrates a Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 based Application Processing Unit (APU), a Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 based Real-Time Processing Unit (RPU), a ARM MALI-400 based Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) and an UltraScale+ Programmable Logic (PL) in a single device. It also includes on-chip memory, external memory interfaces, and a rich set of peripheral connectivity interfaces.
The board can be ordered with different versions of the Zynq MPSoC family of devices, coupled up to 8GB 64-bit DDR4-2400 Processing Memory with 8-bit ECC.
Up to 2GB 16-bit of DDR4-2400 is also available as the Programmable Logic Memory, allowing data streaming applications such as video CODEC and signal processing.
Up to 256GB of soldered eMMC managed NAND Flash is available for local data storage.
The VPX3-ZU1B uses four advanced DC/DC power modules from Linear Technology using PMBus and PanaTeQ’s Smart Power Management technology.
For front-end I/O interfaces, an on-board FMC site compliant to the Vita 57.1 HPC standard with 90 SE IO (45 Diff Pairs) and 10 MGT, allowing a wide range of applications such as Software Defined Radio, Video Camera Processing, advanced Multi-Axes Motors controller, Multi-Gig Ethernet Communications, LIDAR/RADAR/SONAR.
The board can act as a Single Board Computer in the VPX system thanks to its on-board PCIe Gen2 Switch. When the VPX3-ZU1B is System Controller, it can manage up to eight 3U OpenVPX slots with a PCIe x1 Gen2 link per slot. There is no need to add any SBC in the VPX System, improving Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C).
A large number of the Zynq MSoC PS peripherals are available on the VPX backplane: 2x ETH 1000Base-T, 4x USB 2.0, 1x SATA 3.1, 1x CAN-2.0B, 2x RS-232/422/485, 4x MGT, 20x GPIO, Video Out Display Port 1.2.
The air cooled PanaTeQ System Development Kit VPX3-ZU1B-B1M-PSDK is available for the developers and includes a lab chassis with 5-slots Full-Mesh backplane, the VPX3-ZU1B-B1M-AS and RTM-ZU1 boards, a PentaLinux BSP, Reference designs and cables.
